Curious to see what changed so I'm downloading it now but man is it slow. Is everyone at xda downloading it now or something? Usually 100MB is quick on my connection.

Also keep in mind 1.26 may be older than 1.29 but the revision .10 is newer than .3 so this may have some benefit.

Update: International firmware just got source code released for .12. Let's see what happens tonight. This could be interesting. .12 I believe has the touchscreen fix in it!

So what is the significance of the release of this kernel for those of us who may not understand?

What performance benefits can one gain from tweaking/modding a stock kernel?

Lots of different tweaks that developers work on, it all depends - saving battery life, better color reproduction, overclocking with possible better performance and...and....and...
